Don't tempt them! (Destiny)

Are you against alternate endings, then?

It seems odd to argue that, somehow, a different outfit to put onto Batman, or an alternate set of dance moves for your hero, is against artistic integrity. They're new content, that cost money to make. They didn't exist when the main game was made, so there's no argument that they should have been included for free from the start. If Bungie wants to sell them for money, well, that's just economy. They're not an artistic statement, not really. They're cosmetics. They don't effect the point of the game.

Wanting to be able to play as a chicken in a suit in Minecraft on 360 has nothing, bar nothing, to do with the artistic integrity or message of anyone, or anything. I just thought it was amusing, and my brother wanted other stuff in the skin pack, so it was worth paying for it, because it was cheap. If that makes sense?

And, why is offering them separately worse than offering them in a bundle? If you want to make a big statement, well, why is this bundle not encouraging the same wrath? Is it about integrity, which should imply that the bundle is also a rankle? Or is it about bad business practices, in which case, what's the problem with the practice, again?
